FIFTY TWO BLESSING PROJECT, Week Nine

On my honor, I will do my best To do my duty to Godand my Countryand to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong,mentally awake, and morally straight.

I love the picture above. It shows Boy Scouts of all levels, even a little Cub Scout!! They are off to provide service and they are smiling and happy!! Their church and other community buildings are in the background, because they offer support to the Boy Scouts. I have been helping with the Boy Scout Merit Badge PowWow!! Three Saturdays in a row there are 200 Boy Scouts all in one big building to work on lots of merit badges. I'm helping with the Disabilities Awareness Badge, what else?? I have had some great young men taking this merit badge. In todays society some youth are looked down upon for their behavior. It is so nice to see a group of boys who are striving to be their best!! And desiring to learn new things!!

I'm grateful that all three of my sons are Eagle Scouts. All three of my daughters married Eagle scouts too!! And my little grandson, Spencer, is a future Eagle Scout who just became a Cub Scout! What a great program to build strong men with great values!! Men who will be strong, faithful husbands and fathers and take care of their families! I am grateful for such a wonderful program!!

Isn't this a great program. Brads dad and brother are Eagles, as are his Uncles (my brothers) and his cousins. I wish we could get them all together for a picture. The sad thing is most couldn't get into their uniforms any more. My mother is pretty proud of her own "eagles nest" of grandsons.I loved the pictures on your blogMarlene

i am just learning more about scouting. i am a new now in the position of having to know about cubs. but i married an eagle scout (yay for that example so hopefully my boys will want to get theirs as well)and my nephew just got his eagle scout a few weeks ago. he is the first one in our family (his dad, my dada, & my brothers- none of them got theirs)and I am proud of all that he did to get it!
